He was wanted on charges of failing to register as a sex offender and on a warrant out of Taunton from 2011.

Cunningham was classified as a Level 3 Sex Offender after he was convicted of Indecent Assault & Battery for a 2002 sex assault incident involving a 15-year-old. State Police say he has a lengthy and violent criminal history dating back to when he was a minor.

The warrant out of Taunton was for allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend. Police say the victim in that attack suffered extensive injuries, including a broken clavicle and apparent choke marks around her neck.

Charges from the alleged incident include kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
